£1.17m fine for marketing to vulnerable consumers Online gambling business Bonne Terre Limited, trading as Sky Betting and Gaming, is to pay a £1.17m fine for sending promotional emails to customers who had self-excluded or opted out of receiving marketing. On 2 November 2021, the operator distributed a Sky Vegas promotional offer of “Bet £5 get 100 free spins” to 41,395 self-excluded customers and 249,159 customers who had unsubscribed from the operator’s marketing emails.

For those of you who see this fine as a lot

Sky Betting and Gaming sent marketing emails out to 290,554 people who had chosen not to receive such marketing materials and this equates to a "fine" of around £4 for each person they marketed to. Just think about this the next time you get a bank charge letter for an overdrawn balance or a parking ticket for overstayng by 10 minutes and try to put the punishment in context.

All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed. 22/03/2022 at 13:21 0 0 #11946 Icon showing author of the current post: shakinaces
